This page is proposal-only. Status: **proposed**Lifecycle: **candidate** ## Record status **Record ID**: job:stan:receipt-backed-handoffs **Parent lifecycle**: candidate **Page lane**: qualification **Lane lifecycle**: proposed **Owner**: Stan **Owner role**: Chief Security and Engineering Officer **Owner status**: VERIFIED **Qualification result**: NOT RUN · held for evidence and human review **Working browser surface:** [Agent jobs — builder overview]() — Inspect the package and stage a local project. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held. ## Qualification status **Result**: NOT RUN **Disposition**: HELD **Reviewer**: Not recorded **Receipt**: Not recorded This page defines proposed acceptance criteria for the qualification lane. It does not execute tests, establish compliance, qualify the subject, or authorize an effect. ### Lane-specific instrument aids [sha-256-hash-function-demorequired · Compare source and evidence SHA-256 values educationally; a match is evidence consistency, not authority or deployment.]()[checksum-verifierrequired · Check supplied checksums where present and fail closed when verification data is absent or inconsistent.]()[date-duration-calculatorrequired · Calculate explicit review windows and deadline intervals from recorded timestamps; do not infer missing chronology.]() ## Outcome definitions **Verified**: All stated evidence and acceptance requirements passed for the exact reviewed revision; this still does not authorize deployment or an external effect. **Failed**: One or more deterministic acceptance requirements failed with an inspectable reason. **Needs review**: Evidence or interpretation is incomplete, conflicting, or awaits an identified human reviewer. **Held**: Authority, required evidence, safe execution conditions, or a principal gate is absent. The current record remains NOT RUN / HELD. These definitions describe candidate outcomes only. ## Proposed deterministic acceptance tests Route-resolution and distinct-content checks apply only to the admitted canonical routes in this record. Held source-proposed extensions are non-resolving proposals and are excluded. - A complete packet preserves the supplied source reference agents/index.html#stan and identifies Stan as owner_agent with owner_status VERIFIED, without extending that authority. - Every material claim has a source locator, source hash or explicit unavailable state, receipt ID, timestamp, and reviewer-visible status. - Qualification fails when any receipt is missing, duplicated, unverifiable, attached to the wrong canonical ID, or based on a superseded revision. - Qualification fails when chronology contains impossible timestamps, missing timezone for a decision deadline, broken predecessor links, or unexplained ordering. - Qualification fails when any proposal treats confidence as permission, manufactures authority, or converts a proposal into an effect. - Qualification fails when a principal-gate action lacks a separately recorded human approval; the resulting state is Held. - The interface can be completed using keyboard navigation, exposes labels and status text to assistive technology, does not rely on color alone, and retains visible focus. - Private evidence is excluded from public-facing records by default; only minimum necessary metadata is shown in shared review views. - Changing one source byte or supplied checksum causes the hash/checksum test to fail and marks dependent receipts for revalidation. - Duplicate submission is idempotent by canonical handoff ID and revision; it must not create a second accepted transition. - Missing source, unavailable tool, provider failure, timeout, malformed payload, permission denial, and conflicting instruction each produce a named failure state with no external effect. - The final record distinguishes proposed, Needs review, Approved locally, and Held; none claims deployment, provider connection, database authority, customer indexing, publication, or qualification. ## Negative and held-state tests - A receipt can prove that data was recorded, not that the underlying claim is true or that an action was authorized. - Hash equality can establish content consistency but cannot establish provenance, identity, permission, or safety. - A named native surface does not prove a connected web feature or external provider effect. - Timestamp drift, missing timezone, clock changes, and manual backdating can produce false chronology. - Retries can duplicate handoffs or create conflicting state unless canonical IDs and revisions are enforced. - Sensitive incident, credential, customer, or infrastructure details may be exposed through notes, attachments, search, or messages. - Accessibility defects can prevent reviewers from seeing blockers or completing approval. - A deadline may be mistaken for permission to act. - Conflicting instructions may be merged incorrectly or resolved without a human decision. - False positive qualification could permit destructive remediation, credential changes, public deployment, legal filing, or money-related action. ## Qualification claim boundary ### Potentially allowed only after the stated evidence - This is a proposal-only qualification package for receipt-backed handoffs. - The supplied source identifies Stan as the owner agent and Chief Security and Engineering Officer with VERIFIED owner status. - The package defines review fields, bounded steps, deadlines, negative tests, accessibility checks, privacy checks, chronology checks, and held-effect rules. - The listed instruments are allowed verified directory entries and are designated for bounded checking purposes. ### Still held - That any handoff is qualified. - That Stan has authority beyond the supplied source record. - That any provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, or production feature is connected or active. - That a receipt proves execution, correctness, authorization, or safety. - That any external message was sent or any gated action occurred. - That the native routes are more than local prototypes or indexes. - That documentation or web behavior has been deployed. ## Sources and evidence These pointers bind the page to evidence.
